Brian Souter, the charity’s Education Manager, commented: “We’re delighted to see our programme being recognised in this way.  The children and schools that work so hard to make it a success should all be very proud of this achievement.”

“I’d also like to congratulate The Money Charity for winning the education category award web link.  The high standard of the submissions this year has been hugely encouraging.  It’s clear that, as an sector, we are at long last making real strides in terms of financial capability education.”
